              Abstract 
 Aim:
              The present study was conducted to find out the incidence and 
              to evaluate the effectiveness of medial patellar desmotomy (MPD) 
              in lateral recumbency in bovines. 
              Material and Methods: One hundred and fifteen clinical cases 
              of upward fixation of the patella in cattle and buffaloes were 
              treated by closed MPD in lateral recumbency. Probable etiologies, 
              symptoms and site of surgery including disease occurrence with 
              respect to species, sex and season were also recorded. 
              Results: In the present study, the highest incidence was 
              reported in bullocks. A high success rate was obtained with the 
              closed method in lateral recumbency. 
              Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, it can be 
              concluded that the bullocks were more prone to upward fixation of 
              patella and symptoms were exaggerated in winter season. Closed 
              method of MPD was more suited in both cattle and buffaloes. 
              Keywords: bovines, desmotomy, incidence, 
              recumbency.
